NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim-enhanced package and not the vim-enhanced package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

vim before patch 8.0.0056 does not properly validate values for the 'filetype', 'syntax' and 'keymap' options, which may result in the execution of arbitrary code if a file with a specially crafted modeline is opened.
